MYC Rowing

Note* The Rowing Section has it's own Web Site  →  MYC Rowing

Based on Porthmadog harbour, our Rowing Section "MYC Porthmadog Rowing" has been a section of Madoc Yacht Club since 2001 and are affiliated to Welsh Sea Rowing (WSR). We have different types of boats at our disposal including a selection of sculls and Celtic Longboats. The Celtic longboats are a fixed seat boat with crews consisting of four rowers and a cox. 

We have four boats – Fleetwing, Madog, Glaslyn and Ysbryd Eryri (more commonly referred to as 69).

The Rowing Sections' 3 core values that flow through everytrhing we do are FUN, FRIENDLY and INCLUSIVE

• Members can participate in a range of activities including socail and competitive  rowing
• We support wellbeing with regular fitness traingin sessions

FRIENDLY

INCLUSIVE

• We welcome all members whatever their fitness levels, abilities or membership aspiration
• We treat all members equally, creating no divisions

We welcome all new members, whether they are new to rowing or an experienced rower; whether they want to row socially with like minded individuals or want to row competitively.

For members who wish to take part in races, there are plenty of opportunities. We compete in WSR League races across Wales and also in non-League races. Non-league races we participate in include- the Celtic Challenge - rowing about 90miles from ARklow, Ireland to Aberystwyth; the 22mile Great River Race in London, the 17mile Ocean to City race in Cork and the 22mile race on Loch Ness, Scotland.

We run a structured and fun coaching programme for novices that ensures they are provided with the required skills to ensure their safety and enjoyment on the water. We row 7 days a week all year round, with coaching for new rowers evey Tuesday evening, April to October, and every Saturday mornings during the winter months.

Come along and join our great CLub!

Hope to see you on the water soon.
